Abstract

Sm-doped CaCl2, SrCl2, and BaCl2 bulk crystals were synthesized using the conventional vertical Bridgman method, and the photoluminescence, radioluminescence, and detector properties were evaluated. The Sm-doped CaCl2, SrCl2, and BaCl2 samples show a broad emission band at 750, 690, and 650 nm, respectively, which is attributable to the 5d-4f transitions of Sm2+. The pulse height spectra under 137Cs γ-rays (662 keV) show that the Sm-doped CaCl2 and SrCl2 exhibit 9300 and 33000 photons/MeV, respectively. These samples can be used for γ-ray measurements in the red to NIR region.
